Water Fall at Shosenkyo Gorge

Water fall at Shosenkyo Gorge

The gorge near the city of Kofu, is considered Japan's most beautiful gorge.The Shosenkyo is particularly beautiful and well visited during the autumn when the colorful leaves replace the winter's dull and freezing atmosphere. The beautiful nature is then attracting many visitors especially nature photographers.

Photo was taken in January 2012 early in the morning during the freezing winter of Japan with Canon EOS 450D, ND filter was used.

Singapore Botanical Garden

Welcome again to my photography blog.

I used to photograph, seascape, sunset, sunrise and also love to shoot night mode on architectural sites. But, since that was a raining day, I have no choice but just to try those colorful flowers and orchids with some droplets on.

This particular image was taken at Singapore Botanical Garden. You will see some noise-liked affect at the background if you are that detail, actually it is not. (in fact I can remove it using photo shop, but I am a bit lazy to do it) The real story was I took it from behind the glass panel at "cool house" in Botanical garden Singapore. So there is a glass wall between the orchid and the lens.

Why cool house?? Yes it is damn cold inside the glass house. It is named "cool house" and artificially made cold inside in order for those orchids of cold weather to survive. In fact I have seen these orchids in my home town, which is about 6000 feet above sea level and nothing is new for me except the "cool house".

Enjoy.

Singapore Changi Beach

Hello everyone, thank you again for visiting my photography blog.

Again, here is another beach photo, taken at the east of Singapore. To be exact, it is situated at the northeastern tip of Singapore and very close to Singapore international airport. The beach is approximately 3.3 km long with stretches of sandy beaches between Changi Point and Changi Ferry Road.

It is a popular hangout for overnight family picnics, especially on weekends. One could enjoy fishing, watching landing airplanes, jogging and watching the sunrise or sunset. Sunrises can be viewed from the SAF Changi Ferry Terminal on the eastern end of the park while sunsets from Changi Point. Others may enjoy barbecuing, camping and watersports.

Probably this is one of the most beautiful places in Singapore for taking landscape, seascape and nature photography. Especially those who loves taking sunset or sunrise photos.
